High Court Cycles Towards Green Future: Punjab & Haryana Lead the Way
The Punjab and Haryana High Court marked August 2, 2025, as a significant day in its commitment to environmental sustainability. Judges, lawyers, and staff embraced a “Green Commute Day,” opting for eco-friendly transport options.
Buses and bicycles replaced private vehicles, showcasing a collective effort towards a greener future. This initiative, supported by a lawyer-led environmental group, aimed to foster a culture of environmental consciousness within the legal fraternity.
The day’s events included designated bus routes and organised cycling groups, demonstrating the practical application of sustainable commuting. The High Court’s initiative sets a powerful example for other institutions across the nation.
This proactive step by the High Court not only reduces carbon emissions but also underscores the urgent need for collective action in tackling climate change. The success of this Green Commute Day highlights the potential for similar initiatives to be replicated across India’s judicial system and beyond, creating a ripple effect of positive environmental change.
